The world would be better off without Deupty Wilkey....
" filed in 2015 alleges Wilkey fatally shot Steven Lee "Buddy" Howell while employed as a deputy with the Rhea County Sheriff's Office. According to the federal complaint, Rhea County authorities detained Howell, who was allegedly intoxicated and belligerent at a hospital in September 2014. Concerned Howell was reaching for a deputy's gun, authorities said a deputy, later identified as Wilkey in the lawsuit, shot Howell in the head at point-blank range."
I'm not saying it was an execution, but it's damned difficult to imagine a scenario in which a deputy was close enough to shoot a man in the head at point-blank range but not have complete control over the situation.

1.) Google/Facebook/Twitter are free to moderate the platforms that they built however they like; they're business entities, not government agencies. 2.) You're expositing, not writing code or poetry. Learn how to use the solidus correctly. 3.) Stop digging. Seriously. Stop.
The next logical step is to regulate the speech of individuals gathered in large groups, such as conventions. Thought Police will mill amongst the crowds and moderate conversational comments in real time.
